The Ancient Church

Having a better knowledge of the history of the church is priceless. Everyone in ministry should take this course.

This course is well worth the time it will take to go through it. Something I appreciate about the instructor is he makes a couple applications that people in modern times can benefit from based on what happened in this portion of the history of the church.

Church history is fascinating, chaotic, and spiritually enlightening. I love the presentation for this course. And the breakdown as well. The teacher did a great job explaining in detailing the importance of early church history!

An excellent course!

Excellent material--great communicator. Great job!  

Course was amazing. I could see that some of the problems and challenges facing church today, have been dealt with before.

I learned a great deal from this course, the lectures, and the text. I have enjoyed listening to Dr. Gambles lectures, he makes it real. Thank you so much for this course. I have already enrolled in my next learning experience.

I have studied Scripture and been in church my entire life and I have to say I really enjoyed and learned from this course. I really like the lecture style of Dr. Gamble, he is knowledgeable and very easy to listen to and understand. I learned more than I ever thought possible from this course even though I have had and taught many Bible study courses myself. Thank you so much Dr. Gamble and Our Daily Bread University for giving me this opportunity to delve back into the history of the Ancient Church.

These are very concise and focus courses with minimum and almost no rambling.

What an excellent course of study, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it gave me new insight into the ancient church. The website is easy to navigate and I look forward to continuing my study with Our Daily Bread University.

This course is absolutely awesome, it has brought me to a deeper understanding of the Church and How God has moved through history. I will study this topic in-depth as much as I can now. I have been inspired to grow in learning church history.

Great details. A lot to take in, over more than one reading of the transcripts. Lessons on the papacy were very interesting coming from a Catholic upbringing.

I have really been blessed by this course.

Great course. Eye opening and very informative. Often, we are faced with issues or debates where people get lost. Church fathers spent time discussing the same topics arising in the 21st century church, but if you are not informed about the work that the Holy Spirit had already done in these fields, you try to re-invent the wheel. I have been spending hours and hours listening to these teachings, and once I started, I was hooked. As a Pastor, this knowledge is very important and useful to lead people that the Lord has entrusted to me.

Great course. Very educational.

Very well presented in a concise manner. I would like to have time, some time, to go into detail over some areas in which I had questions. An example of that would be your use of the word "mode" which brought to mind modalism (I know that's not what you were addressing). This was a very good look at the first 600 years of the Christian Church.

This course was very interesting and deep for me. This is the first time I have ever did any kind study concerning the early church father. I'd like to learn more. Thank you so much for offering this course.

I enjoyed this course and a great deal of new information concerning the history of the doctrines of the Church and its practices. The recommended text book is very good and a great read and covers what I have had great interest and many questions concerning. Thank you for the opportunity to have studied this topic.
